Update: Because I traveled alone I was highlighting the benefits of traveling alone in this video. However, I've done lots of traveling in the past with friends / family and If you haven't done much traveling, I'd definitely recommend travel with friends / family / a group or organization etc. first then. Traveling is a very new experience. I was just saying there is lots of growth that can happen if you travel alone as you fully rely on yourself. However, you will have lots of growth traveling with some sort of companions too. Traveling with companions or an organization is very fun and not as overwhelming as traveling solo. Most likely safer too.
Also, if traveling alone, be safe! Use common sense! Really research where you will be! You should be fine, but you never know! Especially for solo female travelers, be really careful and don't trust strangers!
This travel alone adventure for me has been one of the highlights of my life so far! There were a couple small bumps and a tiny bit of loneliness or feelings of being overwhelmed / out of my comfort zone on an occasion (part of the growth experience), but overall the trip went quite smoothly! I really had a blast, was an adventure, and learned a lot about my self and the world :) Highly highly recommend traveling!!
BTW, I traveled alone for the first time at age 23. And it seemed like a great age to do that. I had done lots of previous traveling with mainly my family before though.
You should probably be 20+ before traveling alone and you also need to have a mature personality and a large amount of common sense. There are real dangers in the world, and young solo travelers may be targeted. So please be safe.
My 27 year old friend was traveling a couple months ago got mugged. Another friend who is 21 traveled last year and got his phone stolen. So be careful out there! Criminals target tourists! That said, I don't want to scare you! If you're smart and have common sense, traveling in most countries (do your research on safety) is quite safe and traveling is one of the best experiences you can possibly have!
--
Another thing that surprised me is how many other solo travelers there are here that I'm meeting. More people than I thought enjoy traveling alone. It's an awesome experience that I really think everyone should do at least once in their life.
I used the "Hostel World" app on my phone to find / book the hostels. So far I've stayed in amazing places. I highly recommend that app because it has ratings and reviews for each hostel so you can get a feel for them beforehand and find the top notch ones. For the best ones, sometimes it's best to book a little early. Hostels can really vary. They can go from being kind of dirty and have weird people.. to being very nice and incredibly welcoming and social. So do a little research!

[@sunseacity7349]

'i wanna travel next time with a friend or a GIRL' LOLOLOL says it all

[@LinariaFreeze]

I'm a girl and travel alone and stay in hostels all the time. They're much better than hotels. It's a great way to get to know people, and I have met so many fantastic people and had great experiences through this type of traveling :) I think that if you travel with a friend, even if you stay in hostels, you don't make new friends at all. It's good to travel with friends once in a while, but I like a nice balance :)

[@awesomefella69]

do hostels have ghost?

[@lacemoon8645]

awesomefella69 I sure hope so!! That would make for some good stories! BOO

[@manueljesuspaucar5951]

How about the hygiene? Not all roommates take a shower and change clothes

[@jacobconcannon4677]

Is it easy to make friends in hostels? Even if you’re not super out going?

[@eneodyrmishi1648]

Then you don’t have REAL REAL friends ☹️

[@arthur78]

That's a coincidence. I stayed in a hostel last night for the first time ever. It was in my own city though, I wasn't traveling, I just decided to try it out of curiosity, and it was a very positive experience!

[@MrMhidoTheBoss]

Paris for sure

[@madisongrace4851]

Omg what a beautiful idea love that!! Where do you live?

[@colmflaherty3963]

Yes i was thinking of doing that as well. Just to get the feal of it. I live in Galway Ireland. Most people recommend this place. Summertime would be better. I'm 63 but lively, and with it. I think Ha. I'll soon find out , Ha

[@lisaamonty]

I travelled to London last Sept. I stayed in a hostel...it was nice to meet lots of different people around the world. At first I felt out of place because I'm in my 40s and my roommates were so young, but pretty quickly I forgot about the age difference and had a blast!!

I'm doing a solo UK and Ireland tour this June and I'm staying in 14 different places, all in hostels. This video was more than a reassurance! Thank you!

[@6263chris]

I feel like this guys main focus is to pick up girls and drink.

[@Tinseltopia]

I'd say that's a pretty good focus!

[@singsingel]

Same here. That was my first thought. So weird. "Meet a lot of nice girls, amazing girls". Wtf

[@temporary_youtube_channel]

Yes I want to travel again soon myself. I went last year a short trip to Berlin and Amsterdam and visited hostels for the first time. It was a great experience. Very fun and easy to hang out with the people in the hostels!

[@TheNewTravel]

Watching this gets me pumped up for my next hostel, moving to Vietnam in a week... great video Luke

[@GoldJacketLuke]

+The New Travel Blog Have fun in Vietnam! :)

[@LiamSilverman]

can confirm this, i met my girlfriend by traveling and working at a hostel. It work svery well, in the normal day to day work life, it can be really hard to just meet someone becaues everyone is in their set routine.. In terms of travel, people are not in a set routine and are much more open to letting you into their lives and day to day activities.

[@GoldJacketLuke]

Very cool! Nicely said!

[@ram0n_h]

lol I love how you say to "be mature" but your main focus is on drinking and getting with girls

[@njvega6692]

Mature people still drink and hook up..

[@jasonchou7289]

I can't agree with you more. You don't need to do both....that's his opinion ! Just be yourself,enjoy the trip!

[@tanyatressler3132]

What a nice guy who will be very successful in life, for sure!

[@madsmathiesen9821]

Travelling Scotland for 3 weeks in August/September, planning a few stays in hostels, so I don't have to camp in the wilderness every day (showering etc.). This was a great watch. Will definetely be useful for my trip around Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in January/February. Thanks

[@GoldJacketLuke]

Faery Heart Awesome.

[@YoutubeTravelerSoloVagabond]

your vids are still being recommended after 9 years. yea hostels can be colorful for sure.

[@Malik_Hoff]

Tbh.. I'm kind of a "rely-er" it will be big for me to start going out and enjoying myself and traveling a lone. I'm so used to having/wanting a Friend.. this is awesome. Thanks for putting your experience on display for us Luke.

[@GoldJacketLuke]

SOZZYLAND It would be an amazing growth experience for you then! Having friends' energies is great.. But the best growth and really finding out who you really are deep down really happens when doing things alone. :)

[@Malik_Hoff]

Thanks luke!

[@bencox9592]

Your presentation in this video was different to all your others in the way that you spoke and presented your ideas ( in a good way) it felt as if you were a more grounded person and possessed a deeper confidence than usual. I think this travelling is working out for you! I'll definitely try solo travel in summer. Thanks for all the videos mate.

[@GoldJacketLuke]

Ben Cox Thanks:) I feel like I've grown a lot and really found myself through this travel. Enjoy your adventure this summer Ben!

[@DrakoNoHoe]

[@KimCrumby]

I really liked this video. I'm currently planning my next travel and I wasn't quite sure about staying in hostels, but you definitely encouraged me to try it out!

[@LambentLizard]

Wanna go travelling together bb ;)?

[@GoldJacketLuke]

Kimxstef Definitely do it Kim! I've been really surprised by how many female solo travelers I've met in hostels here in Europe. I think I've met more girls traveling alone than guys maybe. It's been around the same.

[@Pmaki7]

Kimxstef just do it, choose carefully a good hostel! go to a big city and do it by urself! sometimes if u wait for friends to travel, u will remain in ur home forever! just a tip as a traveller

[@KimCrumby]

Okay, thanks guys :)

[@tonysoto6455]

Wow sounds really fun and exciting. Met some foreign exchange students my senior year in high school and really got a interest in traveling. I’m 20 and I really wanna push myself to exploring places and meeting people from a different culture.

[@nataliastg97]

I didn't even watch this video, just read what you wrote. I'll be 19 soon and I was thinking about travelling solo. And to be clear, it will be my first time abroad. So... wish me luck because I'm doing it anyway.

[@iluvdant]

Good luck! I'm going to do my first solo to South Africa! Nothing or nobody is stopping me! I want to experience the WORLD!

I'll be in Spain at the summer too, but I'll probably won't be going to Madrid. I'm from Europe, same age as you haha there's nothing to worry, good luck.

[@dma3480]

Hahaha dude you described basically my month in Europe.. just remember to carry ear plugs if you wanna stay in hostels

[@craigmollins6746]

Interesting insight I've only travelled abroad by myself once but stayed in a hotel. But this would be a cool way to meet people.

[@meccool54]

walking i a foreign city alone, discovering it, taking some photos is cool. What I don't like about travelling alone is to visit museums or go to the restaurant , this is not fun. I personally rent a flat through airbnb, I love that. When there is a problem during your trip, being alone is a nightmare

[@andynewman7103]

I like traveling alone , going to places unknown , its great experience and I make friends like that as well

[@asdfkie]

basically travelling in europe gets pretty repetitive at night time when all shops are closed and people can only drink. americans are generally more naive and are easily spotted by scammers. also they only really start drinking at 21 so probably can't handle their alcohol that well if they're at that age or younger. stay safe kids

[@Pmaki7]

I believe what you say but there are 2 hints! choose carefully the hostels reading reviews and so on! I did my first travel alone to new york city 2 years ago (for 11 nights) and it has been one of the best experiences of my life. I think I also could make a video about that but i do not have audience! I just live 3 hours away from Berlin, pitty we could not meet, would have been a great video together! cheers

[@GoldJacketLuke]

Jose De Lorenzo Just added a blurb in the description about reading hostel reviews! Awesome, NYC is a great city. Cheers mate

[@BenRangel]

Travelling alone for a long time must suck unless you find some new friends at a hostel. I don't get lone travellers who stay at hotels. Even if you're great at finding new friends - if you find people living on the other side of town chances are you'll only hang out with them for one day. Living at a hostel is a much easier way of finding friends to hang out with for the entire week.

[@leeandmel8768]

Keep it coming!

[@allie9547]

This really helped. I'm super nervous because I'm going to Australia on a working holiday visa for 12 months by myself. I'm 21 and have never really left Texas. My family isn't ok with the fact that I'm a girl and going alone.

[@GoldJacketLuke]

[@allie9547]

+GoldJacketLuke oh that helps so much! Thank you!!

[@giosaqu8679]

The soon you do the soon you grow. I'm 32 and unfortunately I couldn't travel when I was younger because of financial issues and visas but now I'm trying to filling this gap. I was in South Korea for Christmas by myself and now I'm in Brazil, I hope to stay here for 6 months. I think Australia is a cool place and if you have the opportunity to go there don't give up. After all you speak the same language and this is an advantage. I think when you travel alone you have to trust in your personal temper. I mean ifv you are a trouble maker in your country probably you'll problems find you in other country too. In my case I'm a kind of "naive" person in my native country and so I'm in Brazil too I guess. Good luck.

[@Hehawtyragu]

I'm from Aus you'll love it here, we are all very friendly! have fun!!

[@GoldJacketLuke]

Hey it's been a year now. How has your trip been??

[@runawayturtle4830]

For an American it maybe makes sence to say you have to wait until you're over 20. In Europe it's different, your 21 is our 18, when you are seen as 'adults' as 21, we are seen as 'adults' as 18. So to say you have to wait until you're 20 is just odd. I was 19 when I set off alone for the first time(even tho most people I met thought I was around 15). I met 17 year old girls traveling alone, no big deal. Really! While I agree 15 is too young, I don't think you should set the line at 20. 15 is too young cuz most hostels wont allow people under 16 to stay alone there.

[@alanning9385]

The same as you ,when I first take my own trip I was only 17,but that is old enough.And I pretty enjoy the trip,I had learnt too much than ever since and something that you can know from school.

[@pokeflirt]

man this is amazing brah ahahah i really want to build up a personal michael channel now and do videos like this haha

[@donvito2682]

I've never stayed in a hostel. I use to think that they were no different than homeless shelters. But from what I've seen on utube they are alot nicer and the people are much better than the ones in homeless shelters. Homeless shelters in the U.S like Gospel missions have alot of freaks, weirdos and the mentally ill. It's a very negative environment because everybody looks down on each other. I was so glad to get out of there.

[@evolve101]

Cool. Nice video. I was thinking about backpacking around europe. havnt happen, yet. I bet its fun. Travel alone, might be more fun, even..And a good way too expand as a human being. ffs, i need to travel the world. If i got the money, i would do it. Need to work on that.

[@fabio.albuquerque]

Hey, Luke. Good tips. I have only travelled once, with family, but if all goes well I'm planning to do it again next year. This time, solo travel! I'm waiting to see if I get a remote job I've been applying for. I hope I get, which I'm confident I'll get, but we'll see. And then I'll able to do work and travel. Isn't that great? The idea of that alone keeps me excited for next year. Although, very anxious too. I hope no to die of a heart attack until then. haha Anyway, if all goes well I'm planning on going to the Philipines (don't know which city, yet) and Tokyo, in Japan. Also, meeting girls is very nice but you shouldn't travel just to meet girls. It's very expensive for a resource we have on our own countries. haha

[@GoldJacketLuke]

Awesome. Best of wishes!

[@EvaniaFasya]

I agree with the studying abroad part of your video description! I just moved to The Netherlands this month to study. It's a whole different place, since I lived in Asia before. I want to do some solo trips while I'm here, maybe to the nearest countries first, like maybe German in October?

I'm from Portugal currently living abroad, and I'll probably be in Portugal/Spain this August, awful time to be there, but that's the only time I have! Since you'll be in Spain you should take the chance to go to Portugal as well, cheap paradise, but I may be bias hahah

Why 20+? I've been travelling and staying in hostels alone since I was 18 and ran into no issues whatsoever, everyone is super nice and no one really cares how old you are. Also I gotta say I have more fun solo travelling than with a group but that's my own thing, I like to meet people in the places I go rather than stick to a group of people that I already know

Tips on cheap travel and how do you afford it?

[@alexsuta4691]

just leaving a comment so I can read it back when i'm sober

[@bojliTJ]

LambentLizard tips, hes a rich spoiled kid so he has the money to go and travel its easy to say "go travel " when you're loaded, even if i wanted to i couldnt cause i dont have money for it, not even to for a holiday somewhere, let alone a "world tour"

[@BenRangel]

+LambentLizard Travel on weekdays during non-holiday months. You'll save a ton on flights and you will be able to find lots of cheap places to stay. If you're travelling with friends, share an airbnb apartment. Much nicer and cheaper than any hotel.

[@untitledname5183]

I personally travel first and once i reach the airport i go to a very busy place, then sit with my sun glasses for 20 minutes, until i know about everything, and i check a route so i can run in a direction and then blend into people without anyone noticing me so, the plan is, after knowing the route/staying 20 minutes, find a good target, like a young female, and then when its the time, simply rob her, take her phone and run into that route, then blend into people, but very important notes -When you steal, have your sun glasses on, and then when you blend remove it (or vice-versa) -Buy a two sided jacket, that has different colors, so change the side when you rob, and turn up the sleeve so you look different -Act very normal and just simply walk away -Put the "head" part on when robbing, after you blend take it off -Turn off the phone!! (remove battery is possible) (Do this 2-3 times per trip, after stealing ones, and successfully running away go to another spot the other day..etc) And after that you should find a local store to sell the phones, but remember, before you sell them back up all the data on your PC so you can stalk the persons' shit :P and then wipe the phone, make sure to throw the SIM card somewhere before heading home!) so thats it, thats how I afford traveling, stealing 2 phones that can sell at around $300 together can give me a living of a week easily $30 per day to hostel ($210) you are left with $90 for food and stuff, but still sometimes you gotta rob 2-4 times to afford it all ,but i recommend just robbing twice per trip, because its stressful as fuck, and you gonna still pay some money for the airline ticket Another thing i recommend is you go to places and find short term jobs, for like $10 per day for a week or something, just easily accept any job even for low prices by greedy old ppl, then work 1 day, the second day possibly rob the place, it depends, but u can get out with a pile of $200 or some good shit :) *_This is for educational purposes only!!!!_*

[@hueysanchez9415]

Quick question- how safe are hostils? Do you feel safe in them? im not trying to be all paranoid, but i think i would have a hard time sleeping when there are complete strangers around me. Any advice ect?

[@masteruniter]

looking good with the beard bruh

[@boardingpss]

good tips.. I'm bout to do a Europe Trip.. So i'm stoked on that

[@giosaqu8679]

Personally I think when you travel alone you look more approachable and so it is easier talk to locals but it's not easy to truly make friends in no for other reason that your time is so limited and usually don't see those people anymore :(

[@awesomefella69]

that's kinda true

[@maxnboommax8131]

travelling Thailand in August, should be fun

[@GoldJacketLuke]

MAXnBOOM max Nice. Enjoy!

[@Ashleycb97]

I am 18 and planning to go to Copenhagen by myself, I have picked a hostel to stay in with the hope that Ill meet new people and plan on going to the local nightclub, but it all seems so nerve racking. Independence wise I can support myself hence why Im planning to go by myself since my friends aren't so flexible but Im still quite nervous that I might not meet anyway. Any advice mate ? Thanks

[@XperfectlyClearX]

+KillerReviews97 Just make sure you picked a popular hostel and it will be almost impossible not to meet people.

[@Ashleycb97]

Thank you mate decided to take the leap, im flying out Thursday morning, so excited :)

[@GoldJacketLuke]

+KillerReviews97 Make sure to come back to this video after your trip and leave a follow up comment sharing how everything went! Best of luck my friend! It's going to be an amazing experience! :-)

[@Ashleycb97]

[@jakefastf]

Can I get some advice? im gonna be 16 this summer. And im traveling the world for 3 months. Alone, most of the time. Im fluent in spanish and english, and only have 4,000 dollars. First things first, I wanna base jump and skydive. I already have alot of experience cliff jumping (Im from maui, Hawaii) And i surf too. Generally athletic and hopefully levelheaded, any spots u guys know? How am I gonna get a skydiving license with only 4k? How muchs a parachute? I have friends in greece, and spain?

[@mylittlescienceproject]

Hey dude cool video, I'm just worried about my age though. I'm 32 isn't that old compares to others??? I was supposed to go to Europe back in 2004.... Blew that chance, now fast forward to now, and I need to leave the U.S.

[@GoldJacketLuke]

Never too old to do what you want to do. You're still young. 32 is fine my man! 👍 Do you.

[@mylittlescienceproject]

@@GoldJacketLuke awesome man!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!! I really wanna go over there it's always been my dream to take my music to where it all began.

[@NobaDyKnowZ]

I'm also in Berlin right now. Live here

[@TAVideos786]

Where did Shugo go after you left Buqrest? Hostel life is okay, but sometimes some pain in the ass people create disturbance in hostels also. You have to live with 4 to 10 persons in a tiny room with bunk beds, and you have to be careful, because everyone has a different personality ans taste. Why didn't you make a travel video to show us the beauty of Prague, Berlin, and other places?

[@GoldJacketLuke]

My So-Called Life Shogo is staying in Bucharest for business reasons. Yeah, I've heard some bad stories. Overall my hostel experiences have been great & really smooth tho. Once I took it easy and some guys were loud coming in at 4am and woke me up for awhile. Other than that, no real complaints at all. That wasn't too bad I'd rather enjoy the sites and not think "this would be cool to film" all the time.

[@travelingsunny5134]

No hostels in America... where do you stay when traveling there?

[@FM-uz8kn]

motels I think

[@BronzeBellaBria]

+Traveling Sunny There are hostels in NYC, D.C, New Orleans and many more! Just Google your desired city.

[@aarongarcia1608]

American goes have Hostels. All the major cities in the United States have Hostels. You can find them all on Hostelworld. com

[@joncastillian8389]

Hostels arent too big most stay in motels or cheap hotels

[@acajudi100]

We do have hostels in the USA.💯❤️📚🇺🇸🌹

[@shadowclanbizz6290]

Whats the weed like when traveling?

[@REDPotriats757]

Im still trying to get enough nerve to try solo travel in another country and staying at a hostel. I almost went to Australia by myself but backed out last min..

[@markdownes7758]

Do they have lockups or safes to keep your bags and gear during the day while your out of the hostel

[@GoldJacketLuke]

Yep! All of mine did. Bring your own lock.

[@shellybelly7784]

Hey y'all, I plan on traveling to Latin America starting with MX, June 2019! If you are interested comment below ☺

[@paulkhachukian725]

I'm interested

[@TheDabdus]

Question luke, aren't you afraid of getting your things stolen when sleeping or something?

[@GoldJacketLuke]

TheDabdus Great question! Every hostel so far has had a locker next to the bed. So I've just locked up my stuff there and have had no problems. :)

[@TheDabdus]

***** well but there's something you can't lock in... your virginity, I'm joking haha thanks for these vids, they are really interesting options when on vacation

[@colorfulflowers574]

how about I already found my self and don't need traveling

[@Beyonder374]

Would advice traveling with a car through europe?

[@douglasazevedo6150]

Hello bro!! I'm going to my first travel in Europe and will be alone. I'm so scared, I should? Oh, my english is upper intermediate

[@mae88b.16]

I searched for this type of video to know what is like to stay in hostels cos I’ll be traveling alone to Europe soon but what I grasps from video was “GIRLS and BAnging” LOL

[@davidpowers1804]

There are Hostels everywhere in the US. Idk what you are talking about

[@icedcoldbrew]

recently i've heard that hostels are for backpackers and i was wondering if you're not a backpacker and just want to stay and travel around the cities are hostels still an option? also is there a time limit? i'm planning a month stay in australia. (:

[@kaisailona685]

Liz Lopez There is no time limit as long as you pay ;)
